Hi everyone! For 8/5's PC, I want to mention that I, too, made a mistake on pronouncing the word 'augment'. Just like the word 'address', 'augment' is pronounced differently when it is a noun vs. when it is a verb. As a noun, the emphasis is on the beginning of the word. And as a verb, the emphasis is on the second syllable 'ment'. This is to show that even "native" speakers make mistakes when they talk XD

As always, remember to hit that share button and let people know that we exist :)

Pronunciation issues that appeared:
-ME = 'aug-ment vs aug-'ment; n vs. v
-pronouncing the 'a' in 'taste' with the 'e' in 'test' sound, it should be pronounced just like the letter 'A'
-not pronouncing the 'ou' in 'sound' correctly, remember to pronounce it like 'our' but without the 'R'
-pronouncing the 'c' in 'perception' with a 'sh' sound instead of an 's' sound

Reminders:
-'th' sound was taught on 6/15
-'z' sound was taught on 6/29
-change settings on app to English only, if you want to listen to the Pronunciation Challenge in all English
